Google Cardboard Virtual Reality

Fancy getting yourself a virtual reality headset but not sure which one? It's a bit early to actually buy one right now: most headsets, like the Oculus Rift, are developer's kits that cost a pretty penny. Others, like the Samsung Gear VR, don't have enough content and are pricey, too.

But there's one headset out there that is easily the most accessible, and also an arguably fun DIY project:
Google Cardboard.

Description

The kit comes as a flat pack, put it together assembly yourself kit, with all of the components to get you into the world of VR quickly.

It works with your 5" or larger Android Phone and has a barcode to enable you to easily download the Google VR APP.
